After recovering, Hoya and Majestic were ordered by Captain Lasky to stop Palmer from an ONI-sanctioned assassination of Dr. Halsey. Hoya and Majestic stormed Covenant leader Jul 'Mdama's primary base of operations, killing most of his bodyguards and neutralizing all Promethean reinforcements. However, Jul 'Mdama managed to escape with Dr. Halsey.
